PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

The government tried their best to find a workable track and trace system. Things like that don’t just become invented over night. Unless of course one believes in magic. They did financially help people, both individuals and businesses.

No, it is called pointing out that one too many people didn’t take the virus seriously and unfortunately some people still do not. How do you think the government was to stop the virus from circulating?

He has not promised anything like that, he has always been honest with people that there is a possibility of an extended lockdown. What shredded public confidence was when he kept Dominic Cummings, I think that was a bad move. Although it’s important to save lives, what about other things like the economy? We can’t stay in a lockdown indefinitely.

No, they didn't try their best. Trying your best does not equal employing Serco to subcontract others to employ staff on short term unstable contracts; it doesn't involve getting people to leave where they were isolating to go to a testing centre. It is absurd to claim that it is.

The government was supposed to stop the virus from circulating by containing it before it spread too far. They failed at this, repeatedly. That is why we had the two lockdowns, and why we'll have to have more if we get something that the vaccines do not protect against enough - they've got no other way of dealing with something that they are not expecting.

As for "he has not promised anything like that" - you are being completely dishonest here, so much so that there really isn't any value in continuing to engage with you. He has at various times said this would last twelve weeks (March 2020), that we'd be back to normal by Christmas (July 2020), we'd be closer to normality by Christmas (September 2020), that we'd have no restrictions by June 21st (February 2021), that we'd have no restrictions by July 19th (June 2021). There have been caveats thrown in here and there, but the message was clear (hence his mates calling the 21st "Freedom Day", and businesses getting ready for those dates). He told everyone in the country that lockdown restrictions would cease for four days over Christmas 2020.
 
The first fucking lockdown should have happened sooner. People like you who bang on about hindsight are full of shit. I, in March last year, decided to socially distance before it was even mentioned, I stopped using public transport and I was saying to anyone who would listen that we should lockdown and take this shit seriously.
That’s good for you, but some people had no choice but to use public transport to get back and forth to work and at the time there weren’t any requirements to wear face masks, etc.

At that time, which people were aware of precisely how serious it was?
What was that cunt doing? Washing hands whilst singing happy fucking birthday whilst also shaking hands with covid patients. Oh yeah, and letting Liverpool v Athletico Madrid go ahead along with the Cheltenham festival.
Well, read the following:


"The Prime Minister wouldn't have seen that advice, no. I think that is also a reference to a visit the PM had made to a hospital quite a few days before...

"The PM was very clear at the time that he was taking a number of precautionary steps, including frequently washing his hands, and once the social distancing advice changed the Prime Minister's approach changed."

Asked when Mr Johnson might have seen the Sage advice, the spokesperson told reporters: "In general, in relation to the Sage papers, they were papers that had been considered by Sage which informed the advice Sage provided to ministers.

“They are not Sage's final advice to ministers. So in terms of the Prime Minister I would not be able to say whether he ever saw those papers.”

It’s not as black and white as you think it was.
Go and look up John Ashworth and what he was saying on question time at the time too.
What did he say? Not too long ago he was praising the government for the vaccine rollout.
Don't talk to me about fucking hindsight and oh boo hoo the prime minister is getting such a bad rap. This is the fucking government we're talking about. Their job is to protect us. The British state has ample resources and experience to deal with this sort of crisis but instead we got a floppy haired privileged fuckwit tallyho chaps in charge of public services his party pissed away 10 years prior.
Indeed it is the government’s job to protect us, but a virus that has caused a pandemic is not something that is easy to defend people against.

Er... point me to another time in British history when we have had to deal with a pandemic that is even remotely similar to the current one.
You might have had a nice little jolly on furlough whereas I've worked all the way through. His dithering on masks and saying 'oh just use your common sense' put my life at risk, literally, because of that prick's attitude and lax enforcement about half the customers who come into where I work don't wear masks.
You don’t know my personal circumstances.

The government passed laws that require people to wear face masks in certain places. How would you like the government to enforce the law? Isn’t that the company’s job? A person couldn’t walk into Asda naked because he would be removed from the store, why don’t they do the same with people who don’t wear face masks? Both are against the law.
You might think oh Hur Hur let's come onto urban and play devil's advocate as a laugh but seriously, just fuck off with this 'oh who could do better. ' On some of it I could've done better, seriously and on all of it there are several people on here alone who could have done it better. So I'll say again, fuck off with this hindsight bullshit because loads of people at the time saw this for what it was as soon as it was in China and especially when it was becoming clear what Italy were going through.
You must be the most shrewd and prescient person ever!
 
So according to you a leader should get blamed for the deaths of people who die because of a pandemic. Why should he be blamed for the deaths caused by a virus? He can’t control the virus. He bears no responsibility for the mutations of the virus or the existence of it. What are you babbling on about exactly?

You don’t know your history very well. Men in the UK aged between 18 and 41 were forced (conscripted) to fight during WW2.

Countries like Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea and others did. China celebrated New Years Eve as normal. We were locked indoors because Boris specifically promised Christmas. He wouldn't even shut the schools until the first day of the 2021 term had ended despite all the evidence that schools were a vector. Something that is happening now while he's busy wanking off over the northern ireland protocol he lied about.

I really don't get why you're defending him to the hilt. Is this the hill you want to die on (the one with 128,000 bodies underneath)?

Which is the only reason I'm persisting with this.
 
Hermione Jack Boris wanted to let covid 'scythe through the population to build herd immunity' when 250,000 deaths were predicted by the scientists.
Source?


Is that what you are on about or what?

The majority of deaths happened in the second wave, so yes as he knew what to expect and was specifically warned with all the evidence, yes he should be blamed.

You're using a site which claims to be independent but was founded by a Conservative Party donor.

If you read the pandemic threads here you will find the sources there, it was widely discussed and analysed here at the time. Do your own research - properly.
 

One said: "He was pressing advisors to allow him to go and see the Queen and told private office that was his intention.

"This was despite the increasing levels of Covid and the risk that would come along with such a visit.

"Eventually he saw reason when he was asked firmly by a senior advisor if he could imagine the reaction if he was responsible for the death of the Queen.

"At that point his face went ashen and he scurried back into his office muttering about the whole thing being ridiculous. No more was said about it".

The different peoples in those countries responded differently to the people here. Comparing this country to others is like comparing apples and oranges - every country is different.

What did he “promise”?

The opposition, including Keir Starmer also supported keeping schools open.

I’m not interested in your whining about Brexit and things related to it. Gove

I have criticised him where it is rightfully due, but most of the remarks on here are by people who don’t like Boris Johnson as a person for whatever reason rather than actually genuine reasons. Even the members of the opposition in the House of Commons have given him credit for some of his actions during the pandemic.
 
I don’t think you actually understand what hearsay is, do you?

You’re the type of person who will report a rumour to someone as if it’s the gospel truth.

Try and remember one thing - what can be inserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
 
Um, urban doesn't like Boris because he's a lying, philandering, cockwomble with the blood of thousands on his hands.

He has lost jobs because he's been caught out for outrageous lies, he's cheated repeatedly and abandoned his children (except the latest one) and he's a terrible human being. Yet you think he deserves credit for his handling of the pandemic?

You fool, for believing his lies.
 
That's Nazism.
No, it is racism.

“the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.”

Although undeniably the Nazis were vile racists, they told Germans during the 1930s Nazi propaganda told them that they didn’t believe in a superior race.

Again, you need to stop making yourself look silly.
 
You clearly haven’t actually read the text of the transcript. He didn’t actually advocate for herd immunity. Get your facts right, you are starting to look like a silly little girl.
I'm not reading anything from an institution founded by a Tory party donor, thanks. Absolutely no chance of bias there...

More insults and no actual arguments.

Are you the person who gets to decide if someone is a “terrible human being”? Splendid, who gave you such authority? Ironically, you probably think of yourself as a lovey human being yet all you do is personally abuse people.

I think it is you that's looking a bit silly, actually.

And you haven't used any insults of course?

Hahahahahahahahahaha! Are some truths too uncomfortable to accept? You can watch the entire interview yourself and see that he didn’t advocate such a policy.

You’re the type of person who only believes sources that coincide with her confirmation bias.
 
I think it is you that's looking a bit silly, actually.
You think that racism isn’t defined as believing in a superior race when that is the definition. Go and open up a dictionary. Or, do you not own one?
And you haven't used any insults of course?
I’ve been personally abused for quite a few pages from different people including you so I’m well within my rights to respond accordingly.
